A brand new Tekken movie, subtitled Rise of the Tournament, is currently in the works, according to production company Crystal Sky.

As detailed by The Hollywood Reporter, it will be a prequel to the 2010 straight-to-DVD franchise tie-in (trailered below), though this time a full theatrical release is planned.

It'll be directed by Prachya Pinkaew, the man behind much-admired 2003 Thai dust-up Ong Bak. The plan is not to cast big-name stars but bring in actors who resemble the characters from the game.

The guy who done Ong Bak...colour me intrested.

Well, it sure as hell can't be any worse than that first Tekken movie...

I liked both of them. His Tekken Blood Vengance review was much better though.

Yeah. It's just the most popular fighting game. Oh wait.

I lold.

I actually enjoyed the live action Tekken film even though I didn't care for the guy who played Jin, but this one could be a lot better if Ong Bak guy is directing.
